You'll easily impress guests with this dessert. It takes some time to prepare, but the rave reviews I receive make it all worth it. Peg Atzen, Hackensack, Minnesota Ingredients:
4 large grapefruit |
2 teaspoons rum extract |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped |
3 egg whites |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 cup sugar |
8 maraschino cherries |
Directions:
1. Halve grapefruit and section; remove membranes. Return grapefruit sections to grapefruit halves. Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon rum extract over each. Top with 1 rounded tablespoon of whipped cream; Place on an ungreased foil-lined baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, cornstarch and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Mound 1/2 cup on each grapefruit half; spread meringue to edges to seal. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until meringue is browned. Top each with a cherry. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
